I haven't been getting any results for my searchs!
I've made sure they are only one or two words and spelt correctly.
I just updated to limewire 4.18 and tried searching again.....the same problem. Why can't I get any search results? I've been trying to get some new music but I can't!
someone please help!

Is your LW connected properly (all green/blue connection bars)? If LW's connected, try the fixes below.

1. In LW go tools > options > searching > basic & check whether the 'show license warning' box is ticked. If it's ticked , untick it > Apply > ok...see if that makes any difference.

2. Problems with the search

3. Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will change all of your settings within LW's options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things to the way you like them.
Vista users: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista

4. Disable all options (TLS, DHT, UP capablilties) within LW's tools > options > advanced > performance.

If LW's not connected, try the fixes here.
